Teaching Intern

Cushing Academy, an international coeducational college preparatory school, offers a five-week summer boarding program for boys and girls, aged 12-18.  Students spend each morning in one of five major programs: College Prep (humanities, mathematics, sciences); Critical Skills in English, Mathematics, and Study Techniques; English as a Second Language; Studio Art, or the Prep for Success program for students aged 12-13.  One academic credit is awarded for the College Prep level courses, which meet for five hours per day (M-F).
 
Afternoon elective classes are offered in visual arts (photography, painting, and drawing, jewelry making, sculpture, and pottery); performing arts (dance and theater); athletics (basketball, golf, swimming, soccer, tennis, and volleyball); and a variety of academic areas (English, mathematics, modern languages, computer studies, and SAT and TOEFL preparation).
 
Teaching interns, generally college undergraduates (we require teaching interns to have completed two years of college), are paired with a Master Teacher in the morning and teach two electives in the afternoon. Intern duties include dormitory supervision and chaperoning weekly activities.
